Are You…. “CONCIOUS”?

Today there is so much concern & awareness about the future of our planet. Not a day goes by that there is not something in the news media about being conciuosof how we conserve energy, water, natural resources and the disposal of waste.

On August 14th The Shaka Franklin Foundation, R2 Stewardship Electronic Recycling and Urban Survival Fitness will present “Conscious” – the First Annual Community Wellness and Recycling event at Shaka’s Place Youth Technology Center, 5929 E. 38th Ave. in Denver.

Recycling is the process of taking a produc at the end of its usefull life and using all or part of it to make another product. Recycling is a simple process we can all engage in to help the environment and help preserve natural resources.

Don’t just bring your old electronic devises, but your sensitive documents that need to be shreded. SHRED IT will be on hand to shred documents while you wait.
